Answer :

Answer:

There were 423 adult tickets sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the number of adult tickets sold

Let x + 65 = the number of student tickets sold

x + x + 65 = 715

2x = 715

x = 357.5

x + 65 = 422.5 (round up)

Answer:

adults=325& students=390

Step-by-step explanation:

let me the tickets for adults be x

for students will be x+65

x+x+65=715

2x+65=715

2x=715-65

2x=650

x=650÷2

x=325
